❄️ EJ’s Snow Drift Midge

The EJ’s Snow Drift Midge is a delicate, high-floating dry fly designed for subtle presentations during calm water conditions and cold-weather hatches. Its soft, white wing tufts mimic the tiny, pale midges and micro-insects that often emerge during winter and early spring. These gentle fibers create a light, airy silhouette on the surface—almost like a snowflake settling on the water—making it irresistible to selective trout feeding in slow currents or quiet pools.

The slim, dark body offers just enough contrast beneath the bright wings to create a natural profile fish can easily key in on. Perfect for matching midge hatches, this pattern excels when trout are rising quietly and refusing larger offerings. Its buoyant materials keep it riding high while still looking delicate and lifelike.

Hand-tied with precision, the Snow Drift Midge is an essential fly for technical waters, winter fishing, and those days when subtlety seals the deal.
